Favorite Things: Vol. XIII – Fall Edition

Favorite Things

In honor of the first week of fall, I decided to do a special edition of Favorite Things! Featuring my favorite fall things that are 167% getting me so amped for leaves changing their colors, apple cider, and crisp air.

1. Fall Candles:

This candle that I ordered off Amazon just smells exactly like fall should. Plus it has the funniest name 😂

It is layered so the scents will change up the longer you burn it. The top is banana bread, the middle is toasted coconut, and the last smells like hazelnut. It also has a 100 hour burn time, so by the time you get to the hazelnut layer, it might be winter!

Me ranting about this candle is NOT sponsored, I just really love it to be honest! And if you want to double up on the smell of banana bread, you could always make my recipe 🙂

2. Soup Season!!!!

This tweet cracked me up:

forget pumpkin spice IT’S SOUP SEASON

YOU’VE GOT
POTATO SOUP
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
FRENCH ONION SOUP
CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
CHEESY BROCCOLI SOUP
ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP
TOMATO SOUP

just so many soups happy soup season

Considering making a post about all of my soup recipes that I compile haha

Do you have a favorite soup recipe? Share it in the comments!

3. Cheetah Print Mules

Someone PLEASEEEEE help my find a cute pair of cheetah print mules that are for narrow feet. I absolutely love this trend for fall, but I’ve ordered like 13 pairs of mules and none are fitting me. How cute is this pair from Amazon? ❤️ Plus they are $25!!

4. Literally Everything

Lastly, what would a Favorite Things post be without my latest letterboard? 🙂 Happy fall y’all!

With any leftover candy from handing out candy, or With any leftover candy from handing out candy, or if my toddler has a HUGE excess, we love making monster cookies every year! They’re always fun to make with my toddler and he’s always happy to contribute his candy for cookies!!! Goes without saying, but sticking to chocolatey candy works best!

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg

Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every recipe while pregnant 🙂‍↕️

Without toppings, this clocks in at about 7 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 16 grams carbs, so it was a perfect bedtime snack for me when I had gestational diabetes!

3-INGREDIENT CHIA SEED PUDDING
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup Fairlife chocolate milk
(optional) 2 tablespoons low-carb vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Two Good)

1. Mix the chia seeds and milk together well— cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Remove from fridge and stir well, taking care to break up any clumps
3. Stir in yogurt and, if desired, top with whatever toppings you want (I love fresh raspberries and chocolate chips, granola, mashed cherries, etc) #fibermax #carbconscious #highproteinlowcarb #hyperfixation #pregnancy
